Rhapsody
is the foremost Queen tribute band in the UK, and this performance
at the Surrey University Students’ Union has special significance.
The band is sponsoring the work of Daniel Eley, who has done extensive
volunteering with street children in Latin America .
Dan
Eley, 33,broke his neck in a diving accident in South America just
over a year ago while working with street children in Colombia.
8,000 people around the world joined a Facebook appeal group to
help him after the accident raising £90,000 for an air ambulance
to get him home.

was paralysed from the elbows down and back in UK ,he had intensive
treatment at Stoke Mandeville Hospital’s specialist spinal unit
and is now receiving 24-hour care at Hydon Hill Cheshire Home, near
Godalmin., where he has used voice recognition aids to create his
own fundraising website http://www.danieleley.org/
.
His treatment includes functional electrical stimulation bike, which
works on the muscles, as well as hydrotherapy sessions all paid
for by 'Help Dan' appeal. He sais
"I have some movement in my
left arm, which means I can drink and feed myself,""I
am extremely grateful to all those individuals, many of whom I still
don't know personally, who have shown such solidarity during difficult
times for me.""Such
stories have inspired me to pursue my dream of setting up a foundation
for disadvantaged children and teenagers from marginalised communities
in Colombia."
He
hopes to go in his wheelchair to University of Surrey on March 24,
when the Queen tribute band, Rhapsody, will be playing in aid of
the appeal, organised Dave Clarke, acoustic guitar and backing vocals
